Lightning fast

Additional

Rock solid

All instances are standard equipped with a lightning fast 20 or 50 GB SSD root disk, making your instance up to 10x faster. Need more storage? Add additional hybrid storage for your stationary data, which is expandable up to 1000 GB.

Alongside the standard 20 or 50 GB SSD root disk you can opt for additional hybrid storage for data that is less frequently called. Hybrid storage is not as fast as SSD storage, but it is expandable up to 1000 GB.

For all your stationary data, or big data if you will, Elephant storage is what you need. This somewhat slower disk of 2000 GB will keep all of your files safe and directly available.

What makes Aurora Compute different?

All data replicated 3 times

In order to keep the availability of your data as high as possible, every object is replicated three times on the cloud platform, distributed over various nodes on physically separated racks. For every gigabyte in use, you're actually using three.

Open and accessible

Instances are billed daily, you're not bound by a contract, you can upload your own ISO's and should you not be fully satisfied, you're able to download your instance to go wherever you please.

Fully redundant platform

Everything is fully redundant, our cloud is spread across multiple racks, has A + B feeds, dual power connections, multiple uplinks, self healing storage nodes, no single-point-of-failures and every instance is high available.

Our open source powerhouses:

Apache CloudStack

Apache CloudStack is the software we use for the deployment of your instances. PCextreme actively participates in the CloudStack community and gladly contributes as a committer since 2011.

Ceph

Ceph is the distributed filesystem of the Aurora Compute platform. The filesystem ensures the integrity of data, can pretty much scale to infinity and beyond and is one of our 'secret' ingredients.

KVM

KVM is the virtualization layer of Aurora Compute. KVM makes it possible to install any desired operating system on your instance and also offers a high degree of safety and performance.

Available operating systems:

CentOS

Debian

Fedora

FreeBSD

Idera

openSUSE

TAILS

Ubuntu

Zentyal

Powerful API present

Rather build your own software to deploy or scale your instances automatically? With the API you'll have all the functionalities we use in our control panel at your fingertips.

Realtime deployment

Within seconds your desired instance is online, 24 hours a day. With a press of a button your instance is created and ready to be configured and used for your computing needs.

Always scalable

Your instance is always ready to scale realtime using the control panel, app or API. Perfect for when you outgrow the limits of your instance, a busier period is on the horizon or to scale back for a calmer period.

Private ISO's and templates

In addition to our own selection of operating systems, you are able to deploy your instance with your own template based on a QCOW2 image or your own ISO.

High availability

Premium instances are HA by default, meaning that whenever the node on which your instance resides goes offline, your istance will be automatically transferred to another node in the network.

Fast tier 1 network

Each instance is connected to the PCextreme network with a 200 Mbit connection. The available traffic starts at 1 TB and can rise to 20 TB in the case of a 24 GB instance.
